A word coined by
blog Jezebel in 2007 describing a man who comes across as
feminist due to his sensitive, emo demeanor but who is in fact emotionally
immature and adheres to unrealistic fantasies of women. Because he doesn't participate equally in relationships with real women he is woman-hating, therefore emosogynist.
Zach Braff is the classic
example of a
celebrity emosogynist.
In usage:
"He said he was breaking up with me because he couldn't give me the
love I deserved."
"God, what an emosogynist."
